The Purge
Online Website now offers downloads of a beta version 1.8 of the upcoming
Jihad free add-on for Purge, Freeform Interactive's FPS/RPG. Word is: "Purge
Jihad has an extensive number of new skills and weapons. This beta only
tests that, thus it only 15MB. It also has gibs/limb-loss and 5 minute
Portal protection. Other features for Purge Jihad such as the Deities, the
Altar, and the new Prayer System are NOT in this beta."

well look at the dozens of patches to the Purge demo. These guys are former mod authors and no one minds if a mod has dozens of patches or little beta patches. I repsect them for being able to pull off as much as they did - they went from a mod team to a full retail product. If nothing else there's the sentimental favorite.

And to think I would have continued to ignore Purge had it not dropped to $2.99. Now all I need to do is to go try to play it...
